Using GameplayDebuggingHUDComponent in a plugin

Development Discussion C++ Gameplay Programming
#1

Is it possible to use the GameplayDebugger in a plugin?

I’ve added empty versions of the files from

So empty MyGameplayDebuggingComponent (AIDirectorGDC) and MyGameplayDebuggingHUDComponent (AIDirectorGDHUDC). I then figured out that this line

“GameplayDebugger module has to be added to project’s dependency modules to be activated and usable.”

Probably means do this



	PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string] { "AIModule", "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "GameplayDebugger", "InputCore", "UMG", "Slate", "SlateCore" });

When I compile, I get this…

Does anyone know if its possible to add the GameplayDebugger to a plugin, and if so what Im doing wrong?

Thanks

I shifted all the code to my main game instead of the plugin, and it still gives the same error. So basically Im doing something wrong when using this class. Has anyone used it and can shed some light on what I’ve done wrong?
